<p>A teen accused of making a threat against an Edinburgh school is being allowed off electronic monitoring until his next hearing in juvenile court.</p>
<p>In court this week in Bartholomew County, Magistrate Heather Mollo said she was pleased to hear that the teen had been fully cooperative, respectful and had not had any issues with county juvenile probation officials since his April hearing in juvenile court. The 16-year-old from Edinburgh was in court with his mother and his attorney, Michael DeArmitt.</p>
<p>Based on that report and an agreement among his attorney, prosecutors and the probation department, the teen was allowed to have his required security monitoring lowered from house arrest with electronic monitoring to home supervision. He will have to follow a schedule set up with juvenile probation officers, the judge said.</p>
<p>The boy is facing a charge of felony intimidation in juvenile court, accused of showing a sketch depicting a school shooting scene to some of his classmates at Simon Youth Academy, a school for at-risk youth, in the Edinburgh Premium Outlets on Feb. 21, court records state.</p>
<p>A part of the drawing contained images of a classroom, a semi-automatic pistol and bodies identified by student and teacher names, court records state.</p>
<p>The teen was put on electronic monitoring after the incident, but the boy’s mother told the court his supervision requirements made it difficult for any employer to consider him for a summer job.</p>
<p>The teen’s fact-finding hearing, the equivalent of a trial in adult court, was set for July 6 in juvenile court.</p>
<p>Witnesses will be called to testify about the allegations against the teen, court officials said. Bartholomew County Deputy Prosecutor Lindsey Kay said she plans to call five witnesses during the hearing. State law allows the media to cover cases against juveniles who are charged with offenses that would be felonies if committed by an adult.</p>
